Here are some highlights from the June and July meetings:

6/4/07

· The Senior’s Awards Assembly at Westlake High School was help in late May. The recipients of The Westlake Town Criers Citizenship award were Brendan Corrigan and Ashley Pease. John Lusardo presented each of them with a scholarship check for $1200.

· There were 21 members present, and Ivan Hofmann’s name was drawn. Ivan lives in Arizona so he doesn’t make many (or any) meetings so the pot now sits at $21.

6/18/07

· This meeting was advertised/promoted as “bring a guest” night. It was less than successful. There were only 20 members and only 4 guests were there. And to make matters worse, 3 of the 4 were kids of members. (EDITORIAL COMMENT: Before we try something like that again, let’s make sure all the members are on board with the idea.)

· In spite of the poor turnout, the traditional “Pandoli/Epp” cookout was its usual good time.

· There were 20 members present, and Ivan Hofmann’s name was drawn AGAIN. Luck for the rest of us that Ivan is still in Arizona. The pot now stands at $41.

7/2/07

Only 6 members showed up by meeting time, so no meeting was held. Later on several more showed so the traditional card game was a go.

07/16/07

• · Treasurer’s report: Balance as of 7/16 is $ 7,802.08
• · The Budget Committee met after the meeting to review several requests. Their recommendations will be forth coming.
• · It was mentioned that there is only one meeting next month (Aug. 6^th) due to a conflict with the FOP.
• · At the next meeting a decision will be made concerning holding a meeting on Labor Day (Sept. 3^rd).
• · A Fishing Trip is planned for the weekend of July 27^th. If you are interested contact Henry Epp at (home)440-871-4300 or (work)216-861-0026.
• · There were 22 members present, and John Meno’s name was drawn. Lucky for the rest of us that John was missing in action. The pot now stands at $63.

The Preacher

There was a preacher whose wife was expecting a baby so he went before the congregation and asked for a raise. After much discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the preacher's family expanded, so would his paycheck.

After 6 children, this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss the preacher's salary. There was much yelling and bickering about how much the clergyman's additional children were costing the church.

Finally, the Preacher got up and spoke to the crowd. "Children are a gift from God," he said. Silence fell on the congregation.

In the back pew, a little old lady stood up and in her frail voice said, "Rain is also a gift from God, but when we get too much of it, we wear rubbers."

And the congregation said, "Amen!"

The Broken Mower
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the truck, the car, playing golf - always something more important to me.
Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."
The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

Moral to this story:

Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is the husband.
